Foremost, more importantly than all else, the thing that P.T. gets right is that it absolutely trusts the player to learn, find a way to cope, and ultimately survive the experience with their own interpretation to take away. The team shared this teaser in a delightfully omakase fashion, as if to say, "here is a taste of our vision -- it will likely disturb you, but, please, make of it what you will. There is more if you're brave."

In an era where studios ship games with every designer on their payroll essentially linking arms around the player to keep them from bumping into anything or getting lost, it's downright admirable to see this team won't make their game dumber just to make sure you get through it. I miss that kind of trust.

It seems to have a few unsettling scares that leave you thinking, "Is it going to happen?" and in some cases, the scare does or doesn't manifest. Haven't really seen much of this kind of scare since the earlier Silent Hill games.

Music and sound. Reminded me of SH 1-4 and Akira Yamaoka.

The increasingly disturbing and terrifying loops.

The design of the baby.

The story.

The jump scares weren't at the worst places, even if the ghost lady was a bit generic.

Atmosphere and sound design are good. Graphics is very impressive, though the art direction seems to deviate from previous titles. The narrative is very Silent Hill-esque, though somewhat of a rehash.Very stoked overall. I've played only MSG2, but that game alone made me belief that Hideo Kojima's intelligence and passion will have positive effects on Silent Hill. Guillermo del Toro on the other hand I'm very apathetic of.

He may be hit and miss but if you have seen Pan's Labyrinth you know he can be pretty inventive with his monster design and he knows creepy so there remains hope.

Right, and what a dynamic duo the two of them will potentially make. I never would have guessed these two teaming up in a million years. Its such a unique combination of creative power.

I just noticed something odd while watching a playthrough:In the Bleeding Fridge loop, with the radio going 'The father hung himself with a garden hose they had in the garage', the distorted voice from the radio says 'The father hung himself with an umbilical cord they had in the garage'

Now that is something Silent Hill-like

Nice attention to detail. Its the little nuances like that that make the SH universe come to life.

This teaser. It has done EVERYTHING right, in my opinion. The greatest part is that it leaves you with nothing but a flash-light, and is basically saying "you're not in control here. So just sit back, and experience this teaser."
